Chapters:

When I was first born I had a
brother and two loving parents. My mother was making dinner when
she suddenly went into an unexpected labor. 20 minuites later she
was in the hospital giving birth to a girl named Unique, Unique
Dreame. When my family and I got home, or the place where our
home was, there was a fire. Everything we owned was burned,
everything. My dad had lost his job 3 days before. We went on the
streets untill my parents were mugged and shot to death. My
brother grabed me and ran as fast as he could. He didn't know
what was going on untill the police told him mom and dad weren't
coming back. It was my birthday and he was 6. My brothers name
was Kunie. He was so upset that he ran away from the police, but
the moment he steped into the street he was hit by an ambulance
and was killed. The police sent me to an orphanage where I have
been living for 13 years. I never once celebrated my
birthday.

"Nicky! It's time for school
darling wake up."said Mrs.Price.

She was the owner and the nanny for
the orphanage. I went to a public school unlike most of the
orphans. They said 'It would be better for her to get out with
other kids'.

"Yes Mrs.Price."I said getting out
of bed.

I stood up and let out a long yawn.
I put on a pair of jeens and a red shirt. I put my put my black
boots on and grabed my bag. No one at school knows I'm an orphan.
I walked out the tall doors and down the street. The orphanage
once belonged to a millionair. He married Mrs.Price and died in
his sleep. Thats when Mrs.Price gave it up and made and The
Little Angel Orphanage/Adoption Home.

I walked down the street for about
a block than stoped at the bus stop. My jeans didn't give me much
protection against the winter air. The bus came to a stop and I
climbed on. The warm air made me shiver with delight.

There he was! Alex Lque, the boy
I've had a crush on for the longest time. He glanced up at me
from his book and watched me walk by. He was reading my favorite
book, Vampirates. From the looks of it he was reading the first
book. I've always thought vampires were interesting. I didn't
want to sit with anyone else, so I sat with my best friend
Tory.

"Good morning! How are you doing
Nicky?"she asked.

Everyone calls me Nicky because
Unique is abit strange. The really strange thing is no one even
knows my real name. They only know me by Nicky. I guess I like to
keep a few secrets.

"Todays the same as any other
day."I said.

Tory is always such a happy
positive person.

"Well than lets make it better!
Happy 13th birthday Nicky!"she said.

The whole bus turned and looked at
me. She just let everyone know my birthday. Some people say I
dont even have a brithday. The bus stoped at the school and I got
off and ran out the doors. 13 years today my family died, I
thought. Theres nothing happy about today.

I went into the bathroom where the
preppy girls were doing their hair and make-up. They looked at me
and one said, "What are you doing in here Nicky?" She was kinda
my friend. Her name was Mecca.

"I just wanted to be alone."

"Well your not going to be alone in
here."

"So I see..."I said walking back
out running into Tory.

"Whats wrong? All I said was
hap-"

"Never say that to me, ever
again!"I said walking to 1st period.

I walked into class and sat
down.

"Whats her problem?"

"I dont know man."I heard a
familiar voice.

I turned and saw Alex talking to
his friend.

"Hi Alex."I said.

"Hey Nicky. Do you want to talk to
me for a moment?"he asked.

Alex? Talk to me? I suddenly got
butterflies in my stomach.

"Yes, of course."

"I heard your parents recently
passed away."he said.

I froze.

"No... my parents are happily at
home."I said feeling a strike of pain run through my whole
body.

"Oh, okay. Well happy birthday. I
heard that on the bus."he said.

Of course he had to say something
about my birthday.

"T-thanks..."

"So are you having a birthday
party?"

"No. I dont celebrate my
birthday."

"Oh your a jhahova wittness?"he
asked.

"No. I just dont think the date of
my birth is worth celebrating."

"Why not?"

"You ask too many questions. Ones I
really just can't answer."

"Oh. Sorry."he said sounding a
little deflated.

"It's okay."

"Hey, do you have a phone?"

"A cell phone?"

"Yeah."

"Uh... no. My parents can't afford
it."I said.

"Well when you get one text me."he
said handing me his phone number.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

I turned to the front of the class
and the teacher looked at me.

"Nicky, may I please speak to you
for a moment?"she asked.

"Yes mam?"

"I hear it's your birth-"

"I dont want to talk about
it."

"I understand your parents died
today but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have fun. You seem a
little depressed so I decided to throw a suprise party for you!
Class! Move your desk to make room. We're having a party!"

"What?!"I exclaimed.

I turned and everyone was looking
at me again.

"No!"

It was too late. The students moved
their desk and the teacher began to get out the
refreshments.

"It's okay Nicky."the teacher
said.

"No it's not! I hate this! Put it
away! Please!"

Tears were rolling down my face as
I continued to plea.

"Nicky, your going to enjoy this.
Trust me."

"No! I hate you and all this! I
hate me! Just put it away!"I screamed.

Alex looked at me. I ran out of the
class room and down the hall. My whole life I've been running
away. They don't know me. I really don't know me. I'm not like
them. I can do things they can't. They don't have a name for me.
I'm just strange. I can move things with my mind. I have an
extream sence of smell. I can hear from a mile away. I can run
extreamly fast. I don't know how or why.

"Nicky!"Alex said running to my
side.

I don't want him here. I got up and
ran. I ran as fast as I could and with the blink of an eye, I was
gone. He was coming around the corner. I steped into the janitors
closet. He stood their, stumped. He turned and walked around the
corner back to the class room. I couldn't do this to him.

"Alex..."I said.

I heard foot steps and then he
appered before me.

"Hey what happened back there?"he
asked.

"I want you to know, but I don't
know if I can trust you."

"You can."

"I don't feel it's right. All I can
tell you is I'm not like most people. My life is different."I
said.

"How did you run so fast?"

"I'll see you later."I said walking
away.

--------------------

I went to my other classes but no
one said a word to me. Tory gave me a present. It was a cell
phone. I took it of course. I got on the bus and it drove me back
down the block. I walked in the doors but they didn't shut. I
turned around and Alex was standing their.

"What? No!"I said.

"What do you mean? This is my home
to ya know."he said.

"What? Your home? Your not an
orphan."

"Yes I am. I was living with my
grandfather untill he passed away yesterday."

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear
that."

"So what's your story?"he asked.

My blood ran ice cold.

"M-my parents... they,"

"Nicky I want to know."

"Unique."

"What?"

"Thats my name. Unique
Dreame."

"I thought it was Nicky?"

"Thats my nick-name."

"Well anyways, are you going to
tell me about your story?"

"It's hard."

"It's okay."

"My house caught on fire, my
parents were shot, my brother was hit by an ambulance. If you
tell anyone about this I'll make you feel sorry you were
born."

I woke up in the middle of the
night feeling drianed of all my energy. I got up and went to go
get a drink of water. I got a glass and poured the ice cold water
in. I siped it but found I wasn't capable of swallowing. It
tasted strange.

My body felt weak. Sharp pains
flooded into my head. My bottom lip started to hurt. I opened
mouth and the pain stoped. I reached up to my mouth and felt two
large K-9 teeth hanging down. What did this mean? I smelt
something wonderful. It smelt sweet but it had a touch of
bitterness.

I folowed the sent to an open door.
It was dark inside. I felt around for a candle and lit it with a
match that was set beside it. I looked at the floor and saw a
small puddle of blood. I bent down and smelt it. It was the same
sent as before. Why does it smell so irisistable?

I put my finger in it and lifted it
up to my mouth. I tasted it and it was the most wonderful thing
I've ever tasted. But it's blood, I thought.

"This can't be right."

Suddenly a net flew over my
head.

"Let me go!"I said.

"Never you vampire!"

"I'm not a vampire! Who are you?"I
exclaimed.

"I'm Alex Lque vampire hunter! Wow
I'm going to be rich!"

"Alex let me go!"

"Nicky?"he said lifting the net.
"What are you doing in here?"

"What are you doing in here?"I
asked.

"No, I asked you first."

"I was thirsty so I went to get a
drink and then I was just roaming around when I saw the door
open."

"Oh."

"So what are you doing in
here?"

"Well my book got me pumped about
vampires so I decided to do a little hunting."

"Well they're is no such thing in
vampires so just go to bed."

"But they do exisit! I know they
do. I want to meet one and see if it tries to suck my blood. Hey
maybe we could be friends! That would be crazy."

"Vampires don't exsist and even if
they did, of course they would want to suck your blood!"

"Not all vampires are like
that."

"You're just saying that because
your reading Vampirates."

"You've read that book?"

"Yes, it's my favorite
book."

"Mine too."he said. "So why don't
you belive in vampires?"

"Because it's just silly. Blood
sucking demons! That sounds so real."

"Shhhh! Trust me they're real. And
they can hear us right now. Let's go back to my room."

"But that's in the boys quarters.
No girls alowed."

"Oh what can they do? Kick us out?
We dont have anywhere to be anyways."he said grabbing my hand.

He lead me to his room which looked
different than mine. He had boy things. I did have girliy things
but I got rid of it all.

I sat back down and quickly told
him how it all happened. It's the first time I've told
anyone.

"Oh now it makes sence."

"What?"

"Why you don't like your birthday
and all that. Thats a really sad story Nicky. Real sad."

"Yeah, I know."

"You sound mad. Did you ever get
that drink?"

"No I have not,"I thought. "But I
will if you don't let me go."

"Nicky!"

"What?"I said getting out of my
thoughts.

"You got lost in thought for a
moment there didn't you?"

"Yeah."

"What were you thinking
about?"

"N-nothing."

"Okay now your starting to scare
me. Come on; tell me."

"No! I need to get out of here!"I
said dashing out of the orphanage.

I ran and ran untill I hit a car. I
fell to the ground dazed. I felt no pain now. The tall slender
woman got out of the car and ran to me.

"Oh my! Are you okay?"she asked in
panic.

"Yeah I'm okay."I said sitting
up.

"How are you alive? I hit you at 65
miles!"

"I'm perfectly fine lady."

"What are you even doing out at a
time like this?"

"None of your buissnes."

"Well may I escourt you home? It's
the least I can do."she said pulling at my arm.

I got up and sat in the back seat
of the car. There was a man and two kids in the car.

"I live at the orphanage. Take a
right and keep going straight."

She started to dive away when I had
that strange disire. Pain flowed into my head. It was like a
strange voice was in there saying "Do it!"

I sat up and watched her drive. I
can't take it anymore! The others wont see it because they're
asleep. I reached up and grabed the woman by the neck. She hit
the break.

"What... are... you... doing?"she
asked.

I leaned forward and moved her
sleve. It was like instinct. My long teeth touched the bridge of
her neck conecting to the shoulder. I bit down as fast as I could
and blood quickly rushed into my mouth. I saw her skin turn a
light pink to a pale white. Her eyes shut and her pulse stoped.

I let go of her and the pain stoped
in my head. I felt reborn. My teeth receded into my mouth. I got
out of the car and ran back to the orphanage.

I saw Alex sitting on the top step.
I wiped my mouth to make sure there was no blood left.

"Nicky! I'm sorry I didn't mean to
push. I wont ask again."he said.

He ran up to me and hugged me
tightly. His warmth felt like a new sensation. I just stood there
and let him hold me. I would let him squeze the life out of me if
he wanted to.

"It's okay Alex."

"Where did you go?"he asked
releasing me.

"Just around the garden."I said.

Then I heard a mans voice in the
distance. Alex couldn't hear it.

"Heather? Oh no what happened?
Heather! Heather!"he said.

"Daddy, why won't mommy wake
up?"said a child.

"Someone help!"he said.

I could hear him running this
way.

"Let's go back inside."I said
walking to the door.

I went inside and Alex folowed.

"Let's talk tommorow."I said to
him.

He went to his room an I went to
mine. 10 minuits later I heard a bang at the orphanage
doors.

"Help,"he said. "My wife, she's
been killed."

------------------

"Today on your daily news, a woman
by the name of Heather Jane was stabed twice in the neck and
found dead by her husband Drake Jane and two kids. To learn more
tune in at 6:30 sharp. Only on your daily news."

"Wow. And that was right down the
street!"Alex said.

"Yeah..."

"It must have been a vampire!"he
said.

"Alex... vampires don't-"

"Yes they do! Look at the facts!
The picture they showed she was bleach pale! And the marks!
Vampire bite!"he said cutting me off.

"Maybe she just....
maybe..."

"See! You can't think of an
explination!"

"Maybe someone draged her out of
the car, stabed her, drained her blood out in the woods and put
her body back."

"You just want to be
complicated."he said. "Wow... first vampire attack last Friday
night! Nicky you got lucky!"

"What are you talking
about?"

"You were outside remember?"

"Actually... I don't remember much
of anything last night."

"You don't? Thats strange."

"I am strange. Deal with
it."

"Are you sure your not a
vampire?"

"What?"I said spitting out the
water I was drinking. "Why do you ask that?"

"You just kinda seem like one
that's all. You could tell me if you were."

"No, no. Vampires don't
exsist!"

"Okay, okay. Calm down
Nicky."

I started shaking. What have I
done? Will I have to do it again? How do I control it? I don't
want to kill anyone!

"I can't calm down!"

"Tell me why then."

"I can't! I wish I could tell you
but I can't!"

"You can trust me Nicky, with
anything!"

"No, I just can't."

"Fine. But just keep me in mind in
case you do decide to tell someone."

"Okay, thanks Alex."

"No problem, Nicky."he said.

He turned and walked in the other
direction when he turned and said, "You still have my number,
right?"

"Yeah, it's on my dresser."

"Cool."he said walking to his
room.

---------------------

I walked around the garden for a
while when I decided to stop at the fountian. I looked at all the
flowers surrounding me. They're are rumors that Mr.Price planted
a rose for every second he and Mrs.Price were together. Other
rumors say that there are roses planted for every day they loved
each other. I'm not sure which to belive.

I walked over to one rose and the
color made me shiver. Blood red. I looked at it and it suddenly
turned into a puddle of blood. I steped back and took a
breath.

"It's only a rose Unique. Only a
rose. You didn't do that. It was something inside you that did
it."

"Did what?"

I turned and saw Alex standing
there.

"Nothing."

"What are you freeking about? It's
just a little rose."he said gently pulling it untill it realesed
from it's vine.

He handed it to me. I grabbed it
and looked at it intently. Again I saw blood. I droped it and
cowered against the fountain.

"No..."

"Nicky! Are you okay? Look if you
don't like roses I wont give you anymore."he said steping on the
flower.

It only made it worse. Now I
imagined Heather, that woman I killed, in her car dead and
drained of blood.

"NO! No, no, no, no, no!"I
said.

"Nicky! Calm down."

"I killed her!"I said.

"What? No you didn't you said you
were in the garden."

"I lied! I killed her! I bit her
and I drained her of all her blood!"

"So your a vampire?"

"I don't know! It just
happened."

"Your a vampire!"

"I can't be! My parents are dead!
If they were vampires than they would be alive!"

"A-are you going to suck my
blood?"

"Alex!"

"Sorry, it's just I've never met a
vampire before."

"I'm not a vampire!"

"Okay lets test it!"he said.

He picked up the rose he crushed
and cut himself with a thorn. I found myself hypnotised to the
drop of blood that fell to the ground. What a waste.

"What are you trying to prove by
hurting yourself?"

"You can't take your eyes of it now
can you?"

"Why does it smell different than
other peoples?"

"I don't know... wait! You can
smell it?"

"Yes? No?"

"Yes! You can! This is kinda
freaking me out!"

"I knew it would! Thats why I
didn't say anything! You said I could trust you!"

He took a breath.

"You can."

"So? What now?"

"We need to figure how to controll
this."

"How do we do that? I don't know
any vampires to help."

"We need to find one!"

"That's not gonna be easy."

"Well let's go out tonight and just
observe!"

"What?"

"We go out really late and watch
the people that are out."

"Okay. But are you really willing
to go out with me? A vampire? Late at night?"

"Of course!"

My face flushed. No I can't. I'm
not like him. I'm a vampire.

"What are you thinking
about?"

"Something stupid."

"Were you thinking about
us?"

"There is no us. It's me and
you."

"But you were thinking about
it."

"And how would you know?"

"I'm not really sure. I can just
tell what people are thinking sometimes."

"Now who's the weirdo."

"It runs in my family!"

"Maybe what I'm going through runs
in my family."

He was silent.

"I'm going out."he said.

"Where?"

"Don't know yet."he said.

He turned and walk out the fence.
At that time I felt alone. I was alone before, but now I just
feel like I'm the only person in the world.

-----------------

I was in my room. I had nothing to
do. I was messing around on my phone when I realized; I still
have Alex's phone number. I reached over and pulled it off my
dresser. I typed in the number and sent a message.

"Hey Alex, where R U?"

He didn't respond.

"Alex? R U ok?"

"Yeah."he said.

"Where R U?"

"Why don't you tell me?"

"What?"

"Look out the window."

I got up and did as he said. I saw
him standing there beconing me to join him.

"I'll be right down."

I ran down the stairs and out the
back door that lead to where Alex was. He had a bouque of orange
and white roses.

"Who's that for?"I asked.

"You, of course!"

"What?"I exclaimed.

"Yeah, you don't seem to like the
red ones, so I got you these. Do you like them?"

"Uh...yes. Yes I love them Alex.
But why did you get them for me?"

"It's obvious ain't it?"

"No, not really."

"Ha ha ha."he laughed. "You'll find
out later!"

I stood there with the roses in my
hand. I smelled them and their sweet aroma flooded into my
nose.

"So you went to get me
roses?"

"Not at first."

"Where did you originally go?"I
asked.

"Well... I don't remember. I have
short term memory loss. It happens often."

"Oh. You really don't
remember?"

"Not a clue."he said.

I found myself out of words to say.
I just stood there looking at him. I looked up at the setting
sun. It suddenly hurt and I had to look away. I walked behind a
tree in the shade.

Alex looked into the distance. If I
was a vampire, why am I able to stand in the sun light? I looked
around once more and the sun really did hurt now. Why is this all
happening? It started on my birthday. The blood taking, the sun
burning, the lonliness. Blood I thought. When will I need more?

I could smell Alex. I smelled past
his cologne to the natural smell. His blood smelled good, so
good. No! I don't need it yet. But the craving grew stronger
again.

"Alex, I think you need to
leave."

"Why?"

"You just do."

"Oh no. Your having that feeling
again aren't you?"

"Yes! Go now!"

He began to walk away, but I ran
after him. I grabed him by the shoulder and twisted him around. I
looked him in the eyes, but I didn't see fear. His green eyes now
appeared to be whirl pools. I felt like I was being draged in.

I looked closer. I saw something.
It was a nurse holding a baby. The baby didn't move nor cry. I
realized it was dead. It must have been born like that. Wait,
those blue eyes look familiar. They were mine! I was dead in the
nurse's arms. She looked nervous. She looked at the door as if
someone was looking for her.

Quickly, she lifted the baby up to
her mouth and her appearing fangs bit into the babies chest. The
baby began to cry and the nurse smiled. She walked out of the
door and handed a man the baby. That must be my father. Standing
next to him was a beautiful woman. We had the same brown hair but
her eyes weren't blue. They were the same as her hair. My father
had blue eyes.

"Here's your baby."I heard the
nurse say.

"Oh Robert, what should we name
her?"

"Let's name her Sarah; after her
mother."

"No it should be a unique
name."

"Thats it! Unique; lets name her
that."

"Beautiful! Unique Dreame."said my
mother.

"Mr.Dreame and Mrs.Dreame, theres
something I think you should know."said the nurse.

She lead them into the back room
and the image faded. I found myself looking back into Alex's eyes
again. I let him go and I took a step back.

"What just happened?"I
asked.

"You tell me! You just attacked me
out of nowhere!"

"I'm sorry. I need to tell you
something."

"What now?"

"I saw something in your
eyes."

"Huh? What did you see?"

"I saw how I became a
vampire."

"Great! Now we can find help for
you."

"Lets go to the hospital!"I said
grabbing his arm.

---------------------

We ran all the way to the hospital
where I was born. We walked through the sliding glass doors into
the cold air. It smelled like rubber gloves and baby powder. I
saw patiants in wheel chairs and others with walkers. The
hospital wasn't exactly a happy enviroment.

I looked around for just a moment.
I've never seen anything like it. The only places I've ever been
were the orphanage and school. Not even a field trip.

"Excuse me? May I help you?"said a
young woman.

She had black hair tied up in a
neat bun. Her pale brown eyes were fixed on Alex and I.

"Yes. Were looking for a
nurse."

"One in particulair?"

"Yes."

"What's her name?"she asked.

I looked at her. She was an inch or
so shorter than me. Her skin was a faint pink. She looked sun
burned.

"I don't actually know her
name."

"Can I get an idea of what she
looked like?"

"Yeah. She had long curly dark
brown hair, really light brown eyes, and she's about 5'7."

"Does she have long eye
lashes?"

"Yes, very long. And she was very
pale."

"I know exactly who your talking
about."she said.

She walked over to the front desk
and spoke to the man sitting at the computer.

"Elizabeth Sharron Hendall you have
a request at the front desk. Nurse Hendall please report to the
front desk."he said.

A moment later a tall beautiful
woman walked around the corner. She wore a white dress and black
heels. Her hair rested on her right shoulder. Her hair was strait
but I knew it was her. She had a beautiful figure. Not just her
body but her head. She looked in her twentys. But I knew that was
impossible. She was a vampire.

The man at the desk pointed at me.
Our eyes met for a moment. She knew who I was. I knew who she
was. She gently steped forward. Then she ran up to me and gave me
a welcoming hug.

"Unique! It's so good to see
you!"she said.

"Who are you?"I asked.

"I'm Elizabeth, you can call me
Lizzy."

"Your the nurse who-"

"Not here! Folow me."she
said.

"What about Alex?"

"Uh, sure."she said.

We walked into a small room that
looked like it was made for private meetings.

"Yes I'm the vampire who revived
you."she said.

"Why?"

"I couldn't see your parents upset.
They were very good friends of mine."

"You were?"

"Yes. I was your mothers best
friend when we were teenagers. Untill I was drowned by my
boyfriend. Thats when a man found me and gave me the kiss of
life. Let me tell you, my boyfriend wasn't exactly happy to see
me the next day! Ha. Well I went back to school and everyone was
shocked to see me because they had a missing persons report about
me on the news. Your mom was the only person I ever told what
really happened."

"Wow. Can you tell me more about my
parents?"I asked.

"Later. Lets talk about your
birthday. When I was delivering you, you seem to have suffacated
in the whom. Born dead, I took you in this very room. I gave you
the kiss of life and a vampire baby was born. I handed you to
your father and they named you Unique Vamply Dreame. Your a
vampire thats why your middle name is Vamply, did you ever think
about that?"she said.

"No, I never belived in vampires
untill he came around."I said pointing my finger at Alex. They
exchanged glances for a moment then she continued.

"Well I had to tell them what I
did. I had to because, well, they're your parents. Your father
compleatly freaked out! Your mother was greatful. I told them you
will need blood in the future. They weren't compleatly pleased at
that. But they knew that it would work out. You said that you
didn't belive in vampires untill this boy came around?"

I nodded.

"Incredible. It's not easy to
convince someone that vampires exsist. Your name was Alex
correct?"she asked.

"Yes, Alex Lque."

"Come here for a moment."she said.

Alex stood up and walked over to
her. She looked into his eyes. Suddenly her expresion changed.
They were both compleatly still; their eyes locked on each
others. I saw a pale green light on Lizzy's face. It was coming
from Alex's eyes. What the...?

Lizzy stood up, but their eyes
still focused on each other. I felt a chill run up my spine and
travel through the rest of my body. What was going on? The green
light grew brighter and brighter. Finally I had to look away. The
light began to grow dim now. All the lights in the room also
began to dim. Lizzy blinked and at last, came back to regular
concious.

"What... how?"she said.

"What?"Alex said.

"How did you do that?"

"I didn't do anything. You told me
to come here and I did."

"But I saw it! Your eyes! I-I saw
it!"she said.

"What are you talking
about?"

"Your a Foraftbreacher!
How?"

"What are you talking about?!"he
exclaimed.

"You don't know what that is?"she
asked. "What about you Unique?"

"I'm lost."I said.

"Let me explain,"she said sitting
down once again. "A Foraftbreacher is what some call, 'The Gods
of the Future'. But some call them 'The Demons of the Future'.
The 'For' in Foraftbreacher stands for before. And, of course,
the 'aft' stands for after."she said.

"Why do they call them 'Gods'?"I
asked.

"They have a gift. The gift of the
future and of the past."she said.

"And why do they call them
'Demons'?"

"For the same reason. But there is
another reason..."she said.

She stood up and opened a small
cooler. She lifted a wine bottle out of it. I could already smell
what exactly it was. She opened it and poured the thick red
liquid in a small glass. She passed it to me then she poured
herself a glass.

I looked at the glass in front of
me. It smelled so good. I can't do this! I suddenly felt weak and
drained of all my energy.

"Drink it Nicky."Alex said.

"What?"

"Drink it. It's okay."he said.

He reached over and grabed my
hand.

"I don't need it. I don't need it
yet."I said.

"A little won't hurt."he
said.

"But... I don't want it."

"Look, not drinking it's not gonna
bring back the person it came from."Lizzy said.

"You don't care?"I asked.

"I only have a bottle a week. One
short life gives me a whole eternity."

I looked at it again. Alex's thumb
rubbed against my knuckles. I lifted the glass up to my lips and
took a sip. I felt energized. I took another sip and set it
down.

"Wonderful!"Lizzy said.

"What?"

"You just began the process of
accepting what you are. A vampire. Looks like you have a bit of a
crush on this boy."she said.

"What?! No, no. It's not like
that!"I said.

I could feel my face flush red with
embarassment.

"It was just a little joke."she
said with a wink.

"Well enough with the jokes. Tell
us why Foraftbreachers are called demons."

"Okay, okay."She said. "Well
Foraftbreachers are kinda like vampires. But when you look in
their eyes and you see your future or past, they drain your soul.
They, what some call, 'feast' on souls."

"So I have to tell people their
future in order to live?"

"Yes. But what some fail to
understand is, you 'feast' on the pain the people keep inside.
You release them of all the hurt they have been caused. So
helping yourself, your also helping others. Look at me! I feel
great now!"she said.

"Really? Cool!"he said.

"Very. Now back to you Unique. I
know you must feel abit strange about all this. Your 13, the year
of change. You will need blood, but I know someone who can help
you controll it. I'll call her first thing tomorrow. In the mean
time take this."she said handing me a flask that was filled with
blood.

"Uh... thanks."

"I know it's odd. It will provide
you with what you need until help comes. At least it's more
humane than taking it from the source."

"Yeah, I guess so."I said.

"It was so great to see you! I know
were going to be great friends. We should meet again but someones
thinking about me. Got to go! If you want to meet up sometime
than heres my number."she said pulling a sheet of paper out of a
small pocket on her dress.

She handed me the paper and walked
out the door.

"This was interesting..."Alex said.
He stood up and walked to the door. "Well? Are you
coming?"

"Yeah..."I said also standing
up.

"I wonder if I'm immortal."he said.
"I'll find out sooner or later!"

-----------------------------

When we got back I walked into my
room. I took a big gulp out of the flask and hid it under my
pillow. I couldn't drink it around Alex. It just didn't seem
right. I sat on my bed thinking about everything I've learned
today. I am a vampire. I feel so dark now. I hope tommorow comes
soon. I hate what I am and I'll do anything to make it better.
Suddenly I heard footsteps outside my door. The door opened and
Alex walked in.

"Hey."he said.

"What are you doing here? You gonna
be in so much trouble if Mrs.Price finds you!"

"She won't know."

"Why do you say that?"I
asked.

"Haha. You ask to many questions.
Ones that I really can't answer."

"Don't get cheeky Alex. What did
you do?"

"I made her some tea; thats
all."

"Alex!"

"Okay. I put some things in it that
makes people sleepy. I'm a wizz in science."

"Nice."I said sarcastically.

He walked over to my bed and sat
down beside me. He reached over and held my hand.

"Nicky, I want to tell you
something."

"What is it?"I said feeling elated
at what I think he's going to say.

"Your a vampire, but, I can't help
but feel the way I'm feeling."he said.

My heart began to beat faster and
faster. The moment I've been waiting for sence I first layed eyes
on him.

"Really?"I said.

He squezzed my hand.

"Yes."

"What kind of feelings?"

"The strongest of them all."he
said.

I heard something.

"Do you hear that?"

"What?"

"It's getting closer."

"What is it?"

"Mrs.Price!"I said pushing him on
the floor on the other side of the bed.

"Nicky, have you seen that boy? He
put something in my tea!"

"No Mrs.Price. Did you look in the
garden?"I said.

"Brilliant! Thank you Nicky!"she
said running out the door.

"Clear?"Alex asked in a hushed
tone.

"All clear."

He sat up and looked at me. I
looked in his eyes and felt like I was being carried away. I saw
a park. A simple park. It had only a sidewalk and a few benches.
Alex was there. He looked terrified.

"They're coming for me Nicky!"he
said.

I could hear noises in the bushes.
Three men and a woman steped out. I could tell by the look in
their eyes that they were vampires.

"What did you do?"I thought.

They came closer and closer. The
image started to fade, then it dissapeared.

"What are you looking at?"he asked.
"Wow! I just got a sudden burst of energy!"

"I saw something..."I said.

"Oh that's why I feel good! What
did you see?"

"Uh,"I said.

I didn't want to worry him but he
should know. But that might make it worse.

"It was nothing."

"Tell me."

"It was nothing, Alex."

"Ugh, I hate how stubborn you
are."he said.

Then I remembered what we were
talking about before.

"Let's continue talking."I said.

He looked at his watch.

"Oh dang! I'm gonna be late for
try-outs!"he said getting up and running out the door.
